"Good Morning, World!"

THE HAWK DECK WAVES 4:50

The Waves have died down now

cats are quarrelling

I am ready to Annunciate My Self

to become, to say

I am whatever You want

Me to be —

I can fill any role

but know that within My Role

& Yours

I am true

I am true to My Self

I am true to The World

& We will go farther

than far

together

THE HAWK DECK WAVES 1:25

Who Says There Is God?

“I do!  I do!”

But How Do You Know For Sure?

“A Shower of Silver Lights

fell down on My Head”

When Did This Happen?

“March 31st, 1993

in the town of Shelburne Nova Scotia”

What was Your Reaction?

“I was The Second Coming of Christ”

Do You Think The Same Way Now

Nearly Twenty Years Later?

“Well, I don’t want to be linked

to any established religions

but I think I have ideas

about God & Humanity

whose Time Has Come”

Like What Sorts of Ideas?

“Primarily that God & Humanity are one

& that Human Life

which has no beginning and no end

but which can be measured at Conception & Death

is Sacred”

THE HAWK DECK WAVES 12:15

I have just been spoken to

by the augmentation of The Surf:

God Is Trapped By Humanity

Humanity Is Trapped By God

 

I’M INSIDE A GOD DAMN F–ING FAIRY TALE

The Waves are merely seductive

They’re keeping Me here

on The Deck

or in The Bedroom with windows open

Last Night I yelled to My Perturbed Husband

I might not write again —

I might go babbling My Head off

whenever & wherever I felt like It —

saying anything I feel

& if I get carted away by The Police

I would just say “Sorry Officer —

I choose to write verbally

& My Delivery is NOT SEDUCTIVE”
